Exchange diffs and diff repairs for Kerikeri

Common jobs for Kerikeri drivers
Orchard and lifestyle block work puts utes through a lot of low speed, high load running: trailers of fruit bins, firewood, stock and gear, often on wet clay tracks. That is tough on carrier gears and pinion bearings alike. We would expect Hilux, Ranger and D-Max rear diffs to be the common swaps, with Land Cruiser units for the larger blocks and the coast roads.
Any mechanic in Kerikeri can fit an exchange diff head. The unit arrives with fitting notes, the ratio tagged on the housing and the oil specification, and the team in Christchurch is on the phone to your workshop if anything about the model needs checking. For a repair to your own unit rather than an exchange, the diff travels to Christchurch on the courier and back, freight free, while the vehicle stays with your local workshop.
Ordering from Kerikeri
I am on a rural address outside Kerikeri. Does that change anything?
Rural delivery usually adds a working day each way, and the courier needs a clear pickup point for the old unit on the way back. Tell the team the address is rural when you order and the freight is booked to suit.
Can my local mechanic in Kerikeri fit it?
Yes. Any workshop can fit an exchange head. Fitting notes come with the unit and the team will talk to your mechanic directly if anything about the model is unusual.
